At the beginning of the 1950s, in the outskirts of Venice, Luigi Mazzer manufactured his first coffee grinder. Originally designed for light commercial applications, Mazzer put heavy-duty components into a small package, allowing it to also find a place in the home market. Their quality and precision has made Mazzer grinders the perfect compliment to any semi-automatic or prosumer espresso machine.

Mazzer is a certified member of the Italian Espresso National Institute (Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano).
